Motor Change guide for EG * B / D / H / K SERIES !!!!

just a question that i have been attempting to research on (obviously not hard enough)
p platers under the new law cannot have a mod plate for the engine on the car they own/drive, yet i recently came across a picture on this forum (cant remember where abouts i saw it here however) of a eg civic with a b16a in it and the car owner was a p plater on the new laws
now i understand that a engine swap does not require a certificate if you fit another engine offered by the manufacturer for the vehicle in question, but i thought all audm eg civics came with d series engines?
sorry if some of the information is incorrect i am still learning about cars and i was hoping to buy a eg breeze and do the b16a swap until i came across this

what you can do is, you can buy the car and use one of your parent's name who has a full license, that way, maybe chances are, you are able to do an engine swap. So basically, the car is under your dad's name ( for example ) and + if its under a person that is a full license, it is cheaper for insurance as well.

im just guessing, dont know if it will work, just a thought

hey guys noob question here, what is obd1 and obd2?

different generations of ECU, the higher the OBD# the better ( and more universal ) diagnostics and emmesion control ect

hey guys im 16 looking at buying my first car was looking at buying a eg hatch although i cant decide weather to get an si or vti? d16y1 vs d16a8? single cam vtec vs dual cam non vtec?

what are your opinions on what i should get?
thanks in advance
and yes my question may be classified as "noob" to you guys yes i know
or ill get told off because i didnt search hard enough? lol

I guess it's completely up to you.
Do you want to do an engine swap? Do you want a sunroof or not?
IIRC both D16's have the same power output.

oh ok so they do come with the same power output
i see
sunroof.. yeh.. so vti?
haha thanks for that
and yes i would love to do an engine swap down the road
b18c haha big dreams

You'd need to wait until you're on your full license before you can do an engine conversion though :thumbsup:

If you want to do an engine conversion later on the I would suggest you get the VTi. So you can enjoy the sun roof and SOHC VTAK while you are on your P's then swap out for the B18C.

off topic a bit here but can i ask:
on the chassis of the EG and EH, are the chassis side brackets for engine mounts identical?

i have a civic with a zc crx harness and want to know how i can make it possible to run the b16a in it and also is there any other dissy that can be used to replace the td22u obdo distriubtor or if any magnetic pick up off any other honda could replace the td 22u one

this is a pretty good thread.
